The newest release of Faver from CA was just tested. It reduced our backup time from 58 minutes to 10 minutes and from 11 tapes to 6 tapes. Unfortunately, it is not totally transparent in that it requires a new DD statement, DSSMSGDD. It is invoking ADRDSSU to do the actual dump of the data.
So anybody know a zero cost way to dynamically add a //DSSMSGDD DD SYSOUT=* to any step running PGM=GVEXPORT which lacks a //DSSMSGDD statement? <grin> Which also does not require writing any code and is fully supported? No, I'm not serious. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
